Title: [Plugin: Contact Form 7] plugin code not working sidebar.php Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # [Plugin: Contact Form 7] plugin code not working sidebar.php * Resolved [girlfriendinacoma](https://wordpress.org/support/users/girlfriendinacoma/) * (@girlfriendinacoma) * [16 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-contact-form-7-plugin-code-not-working-sidebarphp/) * I’m using Contact Form 7 just fine on a page that is configured through wordpress but I created a second form in the plug-in and the code does not work when added to sidebar.php.

Using the source code works, but may not upgrade when Contact for 7 upgrades. * Example code * More details see this post [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/297117?replies=15#post-1221565](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/297117?replies=15#post-1221565) Viewing 3 replies - 1 through 3 (of 3 total) The topic ‘[Plugin: Contact Form 7] plugin code not working sidebar.php’ is closed to new replies. * 3 replies * 3 participants * Last reply from: [dplatt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dplatt/) * Last activity: [16 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-contact-form-7-plugin-code-not-working-sidebarphp/#post-1205933) * Status: resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
